Of course I'd only do it if it wasn't too cpu intensive.
You could roll your own variable dump scheme, but it sounds problematic. Dumping a consistent snapshot would be difficult because variables may change while you're writing them. On restore, how would you re-assign user-scoped variables with appropriate user references? (I'd be interested in a solution to this.) I think the practicality would depend on your app. For instance, would inconsistent user session states be preferable to losing user sessions completely? I would imagine the load to perform the dump and restore will vary with the number/size of variables used. - Jeff -- Jeff Bohmer VisionLink, Inc. _________________________________ 303.402.0170 www.visionlink.org _________________________________ People.
